26 in 2016. An old college buddy of mine found a surprisingly cheap apartments complex in Haddonfield and we moved in as roommates. At the time I was still working at Whole Foods, $13/hr or so at 40 hours per week. Fast forward to now and I’m very much enjoying Haddonfield’s cap on rent hikes.

Outside of a few weirdly specific hotspots it seemed like that was already happening in South Jersey? They didn’t seem as prevalent. Or maybe I just got used to them.

Or just plain ol anxiety, if it happened on a regular basis. Not every athlete’s mental health issue comes from brain damage.

Please be as critical as you want of this number because I have no idea how accurate such a survey can be but I’ve seen it estimated that ~60% of the homeless population in Philly is from somewhere else.

Better to sound like a basketball game than a crow on helium

holy shit i hate blue jays

Step 1: give them other shit to scratch

Step 2, and this one’s the big one: anything your cat can reach, it will probably mess with at some point. And that’s okay.

It ain’t rocket surgery. Cats need to scratch stuff to exercise and shed their claws, otherwise they’ll become ingrown.

Almost certainly.

I’m easy to please tbh

Delco is the Florida of the Philadelphia metro

Yeah it’s hardly a utopia, I’m sorry if I sounded like I was painting an overly rosy picture. It’s gotten better, though, and more importantly seems poised to continue trending in that direction.

Just be prepared for bullshit and keep your wits about you. And if you’re ever feeling down you can always go to the aquarium and say hi to their prehensile tailed porcupine.

Seriously, their nose looks like a giant pink marshmallow, it’s goddamned adorable.

Camden gets nasty but the nasty is very localized. It used to be murder city but the violence has plummeted in the last decade.

Nowadays it’s not crazy dangerous if you pay attention, but it is still a very poor area and your car will almost certainly be broken into at some point.

My dumb ass read that as Lyndon B Johnson

I’m not sure you know what a kilowatt-hour is lol

This has been disproven time and time again. Fuck outta here.

Pretty sure nobody’s even gonna notice you tbh

The worst times bring out the best of us. Wishing peace and health to the people of Türkiye.

I reported standing water in a subway stairwell because the floor drain was clogged, it got marked completed after a week with nothing being done.

Mind you this was during peak mosquito season…

In fairness she spends most of her time working with Philadelphia public officials so it’s a learned habit

Partially joking

Lol this shitter's a Penguins fan

Honestly DC is one of my favorite vacations since all the museums are free, leaving you with more money to dump on some of the world class food they’ve got down there

Real talk, my apartment's cleaner than it's been in years

NJ resident who commutes checking in: This view is why I always take a rearward-facing outside seat on my train ride home. Philly has such a beautiful skyline.

Also like he was probably scared. My girl spent the first night at my apartment making biscuits next to me with her tail in full bottle-brush mode. Changing environments is tough on an animal.
